The Sikkim State AIDS Control Society (SSACS) organised Red Run 4.0 2026 in Namchi, bringing together around 480 students from 48 educational institutions to spread awareness about HIV/AIDS and promote a healthier, stigma-free society. 
The event was flagged off by Basant Pradhan, Deputy Director, Sports and Youth Affairs Department, Namchi District, in the presence of Chief Guest G.P. Sharma, Chief Education Officer, Namchi District, and Dr. Deki Wangmu Phempu, Project Director, SSACS, along with other dignitaries. 
A free health camp also provided HIV testing and counselling, Hepatitis B & C screening, blood sugar and blood pressure checks, haemoglobin estimation, and free essential medicines. 
Together, let’s promote awareness, encourage early testing, fight stigma and discrimination, and empower young people to build an HIV-free generation!
